Hello and Welcome,
 
Welcome to the second newsletter for 2010. It is the aim of your Committee Members to make this year our best ever and at the Committee Meeting this Saturday they will be discussing ideas/ways of making this happen.
 
Any ideas on new topics you feel would benefit the club please send to sydpccommittee@sydneypc.com.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Tuesday 12 January - Programming - N Hoffmann - 6 pm - 8 pm
 
The December meeting saw Shane visit Hack a Day to show the MegaSquirt electronic fuel injection system, Martin showed a PCB he designed and bought for his straingage project, Peter showed the Web in a Box project from Silicon Chip of November/December 2009 and searched various websites for PIC projects. Wayne showed us picabc, a visual PIC assembler programmer, downloadable from programmersheaven.
 
This month's meeting we'll see some new microprocessor applications and programming examples.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Saturday 16 January - Web Design - R Hume - 2 pm - 4 pm
The November meeting saw us taking a look at NetObjects Fusion and making a small typo change. Then we proceeded to look at Robert's “new” site, and examined the GO Menu option. It was interesting and as we found out how the main one works. We took a look at making a hierarchy menu but unfortunately this version does not do it, possibly Version 10 does.
 
Come along and learn web designing.

Tip of the Week
GoogleGoogleGoogleGoogle - for the super geek in all of us, this new site recently launched divides your browser page in 4 rectangular frames and opens up Google.com in all 4 of them for starters. You can then proceed with normal browsing on individual frames. There are some problems with Goog4, mainly you cannot open websites like Gmail or Twitter because these sites switch off iFrames functionality, please see the Frequently Asked Questions section.

So until next week, health and happiness.

Cheers

Elaine
